MAY BE TRANSLATED AND FORWARDED To all:- A dear friend, Senator Lorna Milne, remarked to me that CENSUS is like friendship -- no political boundaries. Also, Census Records are the basis of all genealogical research. There are 75 elected Members of Parliament to represent Quebec residents in the House of Commons when a vote is held re the release of 1911 Canadian census records. Check http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census/index6.htm Family researchers will note that only SIX (6) have responded to letters or e-mails, sent by residents of Quebec and others. Three os these have replied YES -- the other THREE are "on the fence", wavering between YES and NO. That leaves 69 who have not replied. Jeannine Ouellet is away for a vacation, but any researcher or resident may ask their Member of Parliament if he/she SUPPORTS release of Post-1901 Census Records to National Archives. The 1911 Canadian Census Records apply to Quebec for research. They are safe at National Archives, BUT we cannot access them in 2003 without legislation. Your help is needed!!
